CHOCORUA — Come explore the trails of the Charlotte C. Browne Woods on Washington Hill Road in Chocorua with naturalist and Chocorua Lake Conservancy Stewardship Director Lynne Flaccus on Saturday, May 28, from 9 to 11 a.m.

This will be a hunt for some of spring’s earliest wildflowers, the ephemeral treasures that sprout and flower early in the spring before leaves in the forest canopy block sunlight. These are the early bloomers that take advantage of abundant sunlight to set their blossoms and decorate the forest floor in various shades of white, pink, yellow and purple.
